Springfield police have identified the victim of Sunday’s shooting in south Springfield.

Gregory A. Dahmm, 36, of Springfield, was suffering from serious injuries when he was found by police in an alley near the 2700 block of South Campbell Avenue just after 1:30 p.m. Sunday. He was transported to a local hospital and later died of his injuries.

An incident report from city police summarizes the incident as “First degree assault which evolved into a homicide.” It doesn’t explain that notation further.

The victim’s address is listed on West Edgewood Street, only a couple blocks from where Dahmm was found hurt.
